Finally finished writing the second volume, hereby announcing to the respected readers that I will disappear for a while.
The main reason is...went off track.
This book has actually gone off track very seriously, don't know if anyone has noticed. How to put it, I am an author who often writes outlines, but after finishing the outlines, hehe, I just don't follow them when I write!
In short: went off track.
The original intention of this book was to be humorous and funny, but why did it turn out like this as I kept writing? The reason is still myself, because as I was writing, new ideas would pop up in my head, and I thought they were very interesting, so I just went with them.
The outlines and original story designs etc. are not important at all.
For example in the first volume, everything was going well in the beginning. Starting from Forgetting Enmity, I gradually went off track, and the style started to change, as everyone has seen.
Also for example in the second volume, I swear, my original intention was to bring the style back, but the result...
In fact, Lu Gaosheng's original design was not handsome, but a bit short and fat, with a cute look. And this little fatso was extremely timid, because he became the county magistrate relying on his wife.
Everyone in the city knew that the county magistrate Lu was timid and incompetent. The subsequent series of stories would also unfold around these characteristics, and the pace could be written in a very humorous way.
But why is the second volume completely different from my outline?
Because as I kept writing, I had new ideas again, redesigned it, and then successfully went off track. The humorous comedy I wanted to write was completely gone.
Now onto the third volume.
As expected, I went off track again.
But now halfway through, I suddenly realized...I can't tie it back up!!
I'm currently very frustrated. I definitely can't publish the half I've written now, because I may change it anytime, or even rewrite from scratch. This is also my current dilemma - whether to rewrite from scratch or modify.
If rewrite, the nearly 100k words I've written would be wasted. If modify, I would have to first clear up my thoughts and revise chapter by chapter.
Painful, painful.
But everyone don't need to worry about me losing inspiration, because I actually have a new idea now, although it's about a later part of the story, it makes me very excited and looking forward to it.
Compared to readers, what I look forward to the least is Zhang San cultivating into immortality, because from the first chapter, this is a set plot. What excites me usually comes from some random ideas I get, like the new idea now:
Zhang San meets Song YanShi.
But it's not that they meet and start fighting, but more like a conversation, with hatred but also rationality, I look forward to writing something between these two characters.
So please wait for me for a bit.
For the sake of his unrequited love, his ex-girlfriend abandoned him at the altar, indirectly causing the death of his parents. Just when he thought his life was plunged into darkness, a clueless yet beautiful girl unexpectedly took him in. Looking back, he realized how many hidden gems had always been by his side. A childhood friend who had secretly loved him for over a decade, a stunning but socially clueless school beauty, a mischievous and playful girl who lived for chaos... His ex, filled with regret, pleaded: "I was wrong—can we go back to how things were?" Before he could respond, the girl stepped in front of Ye Shuang and coldly declared, "If you didn’t cherish him, then he’s mine now." Also known as: "After Losing My Job, I Was Picked Up by a Hidden Gem," "The School Beauty I Raised," and "Oh No, I’m Surrounded by Rich Girls."
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
